across the battle-ground toward ms
quarters, and in dark place by blank wall
had encountered Captain Bruce, who had just
left his quarters to go on duty, and whose hand
was in his pocket grasping the loaded revolver.
Bruoe's account of the occurrence was that he

toward him in the darkness, and before he had
time to challenge him felt the violent conclusion
of Days body against him, and withdrawing his
right hand, which held the pistol he Immediately

But Bruce, wishing TO keep Miss Wll0ughby's

quarrel. respecting which quarrel and Bruce's
retccnce Dora was equally ignorant. When ques-
